Wow. It’s been exactly 10 months since the last The Gourmet Gourmand post. I could offer up apologies and say things like “I promise to be better in the future,” but as of right now I’m not entirely sure I will be better in the future. So instead, I will give you a…

This Three Cheese Asparagus Quiche is bound to get your spring-time taste buds watering! I don’t know about you, but I have a (possibly) unhealthy obsession with all things egg-y and buttery. Hence quiche is something that I love, love, love to make. Add in some delicious spring asparagus, some chives, and 3 varieties of cheese, and…

I promise I promise I haven’t given up on this blog! For anyone that has been wondering “what the heck” since I’ve gone from my weekly posting schedule to once…. a…. [insert very irregular posting schedule here] arrangement, I promise it’s been for a good reason. Dave and I bought our first house! The process…

Sadly this is not a pink-themed Hallmark Holiday recipe, but you might still enjoy this Brussels Sprouts and Navel Orange Salad recipe if you are planning on making dinner for your special someone this upcoming Valentine’s Day. As discussed before in this other brussels sprouts post, I have become quite addicted to these mini cabbages…

Oh hey there… it’s been a while. First things first- Happy New Year! Dave and I spent the holidays back east, first with my family back in Michigan, then with his family back in Pennsylvania. We managed a quick trip to DC for a “romantic” New Year’s Eve celebration at an Ethiopian Restaurant followed by…

So I will be the first to confess that this Hot Buttered Rum Apple Cider is not the most beautiful cocktail on the planet- BUT- it might just be the tastiest. Imagine a cocktail that tastes just like your favorite buttery apple crisp and this is what you have in this cocktail. It is not…

Anyone else victim of the post-Thanksgiving I-never-want-to-eat-again syndrome? (I had these type of thoughts for approximately 5 minutes before starting to fantasize about food again..) But in the following weeks before we sit down again for a family binge-eating session (Christmas), we might want to consider eating a little lighter to off-set the inevitable excess…

And… happy The Monday Before Thanksgiving everyone. Have you done your shopping yet? I nearly forgot it was holiday time until I went to the store this weekend and was distressed by the typical cannot-find-a-parking-spot situation that seems to be endemic to this time of year. I wanted to share this Sticky Toffee Bundt Cake for…

I just kind of feel like I need to acknowledge the elephant in the room here: Donald Trump is going to be our president. (No this isn’t a political blog and I really am hoping not to alienate any readers by making a few comments here). But holy. what?!. just. happened. Mostly what I’m hoping…
